Some farmers and dairymen reason that
when the price Of butter is low it does moi
pay to feed well. They say: There is
no money in the business any way. The
cows will come out all right in the spring,
when they get on grass. !" Guess wont
put any grain into them, aud no more hay
than they will get along with SO they
feed lighter, probably do not shelter well
and the cows give a very small quantity
Of poor milk, from which the women folks
can get but little butter, and that of in
ferior quality. Any farmer pursuing this
course virtually loses all the feed be gives
the cows, just as an engineer would lose
all the fuel he used under the boiler il he
should keep only steam enough to move
the engine, but not enough to drive any
machinery. A certain amount OF food il
necessary to maintain the life OF the COW,
and it is the surplus beyond this flood Of
maintenance" that returns profit. Leav-
ing plows to rust out in the last furrow,
or implements to lot in the field, is not
more rui nous than half-starving cows,
under pre.ext that dairy products do not
bring high prices II there is any time
when dairy cows should have good care
and good feed it is when butter is low
priced. - Prairie Farmer.

Tho Preservation Of Eggs.

Australian eggs are preserved IN the
following simple manner: The vessels in
which the eggs are to be placed are glass
jars with patent shoppers, vulcanized In
dia rubber joints making them perfectly
air tight AS soon as the eggs have been
collected, the jars are stood in hot water
for some time, aud left until the air in
them has become thoroughly warm and
fairfield. The jars having been heated,
The eggs are wrapped up In paper TO pre-
vent them knocking together and placed
10 the warm receptacle, their pointed ends
being uppermost. The jars are immedi-
ately closed up, and then, and not until
then, are removed from the hot water. II
is said that il this process is skillfully car.
ried out the eggs will be as lit for the
breakfast table as the day they we're laid
many months after they were put in the
jars. The great secret Of success in car
ryiug out this method Is no doubt to
thoroughly heat the air 10 the jars. The
eggs will stand better chance OF keeping
il the paper in which they are packed is
previously baked and used warm. Pat
ent stoppered jars are not absolutely ne
cessary. any stopper answering which ef-
excludes the air.

Farmers and gardeners should gather
up all the bones scattering about the yards
and prepare them for use In fertiizing
their lands. There are various ways Of
doing this One is to smash them with
On old az or sledge- hammer, the finer the
better, and place the broken pieces into a
barrel or other vessel. interpreted with
layers Of good hardwood unleached ashes.
Keep the mass moist, not allowing the lye
or potash to escape. In few months
the bones will become jelly, and you will
have . fertilizer superior to much OF the
stuff that costs $40 or $50 per ton liz the
market.
There is no doubt that tillage is q means
Of adding to the strength OF the soil. The
mere stirring and tumbling Of the land
about does not add any enriching property
TO 1t, but 1t puts the earth 10 condition
TO receive benefits Ito absorb the gases
floating in the air. assume it TO be an
established fact that the earth when in
mellow condition does absorb the nitro

and which is carried down 10 the earth by
the dews and the rains. The ofiener tie
earth is stirred. and fresh surface Is
turned up, the more Of this element OF
